This seems like a great idea on the surface, but a 25% cut once the project "starts making money" is steep. I have 2M+ developers using my various OSS projects. If only 10% convert to a revenue stream, that's obviously a good revenue stream ($1M/mo at the $5/mo min), but that would mean an operational expense of $3M/yr to maintain this. "Build" looks much better than "buy" at scale.... something a maker is typically already inclined to do. Monetizing a project implies existing traction, because you first have to prove people will use it without any kind of payment. If people won't use a free project, they wouldn't pay for it either. For new projects, this would be a premature monetization avenue and a barrier to growth. As I see it, this isn't a fit for new projects and isn't for projects at scale. It seems to rely on the concept a developer won't want to setup a company. I'm not sure how many people would really be turned away from that.
